Christmas is just a few days away, and if you’re like me, a busy mom wearing 25 hats, and an entrepreneur (add another 15 hats), then you know very well that time goes way too fast, and realize you better grab that holiday list of loved ones, and head online for some quick beauty shopping. To help you out, I’ve organized a guide to create your own personalized gift sets that are unique and chic for your BFF, sister, mother, or that YouTube makeup junkie friend, uh yeah right, we know that’s YOU!

Gift Set of The Basics
Surprise your co-worker or sister who is curious about makeup with a set that will help her out with the essential makeup products! For this set, choose popular yet not too dramatic products (or ones that you tried and love), that will help her create natural and stunning makeup, such as a light coverage foundation, a nude luxury lipgloss, voluminizing mascara, and a neutral eyeshadow palette.

We all have that one friend who loves experimenting with crazy colors and creative makeup ideas. Although it isn’t easy to stun a person who probably has a big collection of makeup, you will surely melt her heart with limited editions, or very unique pieces that aren’t on the bestseller lists. Besides the beautiful packaging and limited Christmas shades, try to find products that she hasn’t discovered yet, or search for gifts with special textures and formulas such as primer sprays, gel eyeliners and liquid highlighters.

The Natural Gift Set
Healthy and natural products can be great gifts for everyone, especially to your friend who has recently started discovering the bio and vegan world of beauty and makeup. Besides being eco-conscious and helping the environment, natural beauty products can also do wonders to the skin. Unlike other makeup items and moisturizers with hidden harmful chemicals in them, bio products consist of ingredients that will make the skin glowing from the inside.

Surprise your friend with romantic scents and feminine shades all wrapped up in gorgeous packaging! We all have those makeup items that function as décor on our bathroom vanities, so to help your friend expand her collection of makeup specialties, search for eye palettes that are classically beautiful with shades of violet, cranberry, and plum, lipsticks of hot pink, pastel nail polishes and fruity body lotions and floral perfumes.

The Gift Set of Pampering
Who doesn’t like to have the ultimate wellness-experience at home? Creating a pampering gift set with nourishing products is a great idea for not just your friend or relative, but for any beauty enthusiast who love to spend time trying out different beauty products. To make this set complete, make sure to include nail and foot care products as well, to guarantee a head-to-toe pamper experience.
